This amazingly located apartment in the heart of the city has all the comfort you need. You can take a stroll along the river, just 3 minutes away, or hit the historical streets with amazing bars & restaurants.

The apartment is situated in a lovely neighbourhood with local family restaurants and bars. It is close to the main avenue called Rua de Mouzinho da Silva and the river walk with music and lovely cafes.

    Location was fantastic, everything was clean. The apartment is on the 4th floor so there are quite a few stairs to go up. We only had 1 small carryon with us so it wasn’t an issue but it would be difficult for a family with children and large luggage. We would definitely stay here again!

    Fantastic location, the property had everything we needed, and was clean and tidy. The staircase in the building as others have mentioned does have a distinct ‘lived in’ smell, but I would absolutely not let this put you off booking this property, as it is literally only the main staircase that is affected.

    The property was clean, well-equipped, and in a good location. We wished the laundry situation had been explained in advance, as it required walking down 4 flights of stairs to a shared building laundry space, because of that, we chose not to use it. Overall, though, the space itself was comfortable.

    Our stay was lovely! This quaint space was perfect for our girls’ trip, located within walking distance of all the highlights of Porto! The apartment is a fourth floor walk-up, so be advised that carrying up suitcases may be a challenge if not fit/able-bodied.

    Disliked: Cleanliness
    Pros-1. Location is fabulous2. owner responded quickly to our questions. Cons-1. it was hard to get a good night sleep because of early morning street noise, rough sheets/ lumpy pillows w hairs on the pillow, Loud squeaky, sticky doors if anyone else in the condo got up to use the restroom2. Difficult layout for more than 2 people. The upstairs loft is very challenging to access. It’s up a tight staircase that is dangerous especially in the middle of the night. For that reason we had to put our younger son in the family room. 3. advertised as having washer and dryer, but it fails to clarify that both are down 4 flights of stairs 4. Host indicated parking was easy and available. This was not the case. The Porto traffic in this area is extremely intense and it took us 30mins to locate a spot for our small rental car. 5. advertised as having everything you need but there were no paper towels or paper, napkins, or anything to be able to clean up or eat with. Not even Kleenex. We ended up leaving aftet 1 night to stay in a hotel for the rest of our time in Porto.

    As others mentioned, this duplex is located in a great part of the city and there are good restaurants nearby. The place is comfortable and was good for two friends staying together. The negatives: the bathroom was small, the stairs to the loft with the second bed were extremely steep, and navigating large suitcases up the four flights can be challenging. Additionally, we did not get entry information ahead of our arrival date.

    We Did Not Stay

    We did not stay. Stairs were wicked for carrying luggage. 4 story walk up. Very steep treads and very dark. One of the other units had a smoker and this unit smelled of residual smoke. Dog barking constantly in the unit next door. Laundry in the basement was not mentioned anywhere. Nothing like we expected. Turned around and walked out. Found another place to stay.

    Cute and Cozy Cave in great location

    We had a wonderful time in this charming apartment. Located right in middle of city, walking to everything. It is a tight squeeze. We had family of four- two adult children. The four flight walk up is not for the out of shape- nor is the cave alcove up the stairs. But if you can brave stairs and not a lot of extra room, this place is incredible. So many thoughtful touches. Great welcome guide is 4-5 languages for local recs. Basic kitchen supplies and a coffee supply as well as directions on how to use everything. We loved staying here!

    Conveniently Located Apartment

    The apartment was clean, compact, and conveniently located. Communication and check in went smoothly. The apartment is on the top floor so there are lots of stairs to navigate and a somewhat dark entrance. The second bedroom is up a narrow, steep staircase that would be difficult to navigate for people with any mobility challenges. Getting luggage up to the room was a two person endeavour.

    This property is a Home Run! My friend and I did a 1 1/2 weeks long trip to Portugal with Porto #1 on our list. It's hard when you dont know the area to book a place that keeps you in the center and walking distance to everything. This cute little 4th floor walk up gives you all of it. 1. Its a really cute little place, Well appointed and cozy.2. Central to walking around lower portion of Porto and the bridge to Gaia.3. Easy and close access to shopping and restaurants4. Safe area, secure access, and the check in was easy!It is a 4th floor walk up so expect stairs - lots of them, but it gets you ready for walking the streets of Porto!The upstairs loft access is tight with little stairs. I would not recommend putting kiddos up there or larger adults. I highly recommend this property.

    Not wheelchair accessible

    We really enjoyed the unit; however, the stair situation was not explained well on the app. The ‘main bedroom’ is totally awesome but it’s pretty much up a ladder (please consider this if you have a hard time with stairs). The kitchen is a bit awkward for one person to cook in, but there are so many awesome venues nearby. If you’re adventurous, fit/healthy persons, it’s a very lovely place to settle into.

    Just one street down to the popular port area and a short uphill walk to major sites. The area offers easy access to cafes and shopping and provides a real taste of city life.
